Mom to Mom is a biblically based parenting program designed around the Titus 2:4 concept of older women teaching and encouraging younger women in their relationships with their husbands and children. Our time together will include quality instruction in parenting, small group discussion, and the interaction of more experienced mothers with younger women. In our study this fall, Growing Together, we will explore how growing our children involves us growing as moms. All women are welcome to join in as we seek to become equipped, encouraged, and energized as moms in the most significant job in the world—raising the next generation.

Childcare is typically available during Mom-To-Mom meeting times.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why “Family Style”? This past year has been very challenging and proved to us that God created us to journey and support each other in this life together. Our prayer is that this will be an opportunity to help families grow together in their faith and reconnect to God’s kingdom. Our hope is that our families will leave empowered to continue growing their faith together at home.

What is Family Bible School?  Very similar to a regular VBS! There will be singing and dancing, interactive Bible stories, crafts, water games, and more! Children will start with their parents at their picnic blanket on the lawn, but they won’t be sitting for long! Families will be grouped in tribes and will visit stations together. Stations will be inside and outside the church. Kids will still have opportunities to have fun with old friends and make new ones. Parents will have a chance to connect with their peers, too!

What is expected of parents, grandparents, and guardians?  Have fun with your kids! You will help shepherd them to the different stations and help them participate in the activities and program. This is a great opportunity to share your faith and make memories with your children. This is not a drop-off event. Parents are participating for the entire time. We need at least one parent (grandparent or guardian) per family to stay. You are welcome to bring friends! You will be responsible for the children you bring. You will not be alone! There will be volunteers assigned to help and support families as they navigate the different activities and program.

What about my baby or toddlers?  Bring them! Nursery is open for the littlest ones, or they are welcome to stay with your family too!

What about my teens? Teens may participate with your family, or serve in one of the many volunteer positions needed to make FBS a great success!

If I volunteer, can I have dinner?  Yes! Dinner reservations are a part of the volunteer sign up. We want volunteers to come fellowship with dinner and worship with the families!

We prefer to have dinner at home.  No problem! If you would prefer not to partake of the parish dinners, you may certainly eat ahead of time and join us at 5:30 FBS programming, or pack your own picnic and eat with the other families at 5:00pm.

Pathway 4: Living Out Our Baptism as Public Witnesses for Christ

There is a lot of material out there about parenting little children and teens but not much about navigating life with your grown children.  This class aims to fill this need by helping you to be a parent to adult children.  Some topics that will be addressed include the following: How can I release control of my adult children into God’s hands?  Why is it so hard to keep our mouths shut?  Why is it taking so long for adult children to grow up these days?  What happens when an adult child fails to launch?  What happens when adult children violate your values?  Does my adult child know I love him or her?  The textbook for this class is Jim Burns’ book Doing Life With Your Adult Children.
